Henry Abramson: Hitler before Nazism

Recommendable! So Hitler could not himself have become a member of the SS because of uncertainties about his family tree (he was not able to provide proof Aryan ancestry)? I had forgotten about this irony of history.



Intentionalism vs. Functionalism as explanations for the Holocaust? I think neither theory is adequate! Of course, WW II made it possible to execute the Holocaust for multiple reasons among them many Jews lived in occupied countries; war times bring out the worst in humans and make massacres more likely etc.
